One third of Germany’s area is under special protection

Germany is the largest Economy in Europe, with a population of nearly 83 million and a GDP per capita of $42,000. With tourist numbers forecast to rise for an eighth consecutive year, what is the country doing right to account for
its thriving visitor numbers?

While France takes the top spot as the world’s most visited country in terms of international tourists, Germany holds strong in seventh place. It also continues to beat the European average in terms of its year on year growth in visitor numbers.

Here below are some of the reasons:

Great positive Image: A tourist’s decision whether or where to travel is influenced by the perception or image of a region
Germany is the number one cultural travel destination for Europeans: it has “vibrant cities with a rich cultural life”
Germany lies at the heart of Europe and can be easily reached from anywhere in the continent

One third of Germany’s land area is under special protection as a national park or nature park.
The most popular destination within Germany for Germans is the Baltic Sea coast. Here, restaurants and hotels cost 35.5 percent less than those a hop, skip and a jump away in Denmark.

What can we Learn from Germany and Adopt into our country so that we can also boost our Tourism and Visitors count? What can we do to Polish our Image in the international community?
